Patio Covers
We provide complete patio cover drafting and permit documentation services for homeowners and contractors throughout Los Angeles County. From existing condition documentation to full LADBS permit submittal our team produces accurate, permit-ready drawing sets for attached patio covers, detached patio covers, pergolas, aluminum patio covers, solid roof structures, and outdoor living spaces.
Attached Patio Covers
Patio covers attached directly to the primary residence
An attached patio cover connects to the existing home — typically at the rear or side of the house — sharing the existing wall structure as one of its support points. Attached patio covers require careful documentation of the existing wall connection, ledger attachment details, footing design, and roof framing — all of which must be shown in the permit drawing set.
Detached Patio Covers
Freestanding patio cover structures
A detached patio cover is a freestanding structure — supported entirely by its own posts and footings — located in the backyard or side yard without attachment to the existing home. Detached patio covers require documentation of post locations, footing design, beam and rafter framing, and site plan showing setbacks from property lines and existing structures.
Aluminum Patio Covers
Permit for prefabricated and custom aluminum patio cover
A solid roof patio cover — with a continuous roof covering such as tile, composition shingle, metal roofing, or polycarbonate panels — is treated as an addition to the primary residence for permit purposes and requires a more comprehensive drawing set than an open pergola.
